Solidna knjiga s jednostavno razjašnjenim problemima u odgoju pasa. Preporučujem.

The negative reviews on here are something....

Mostly people disagreeing with Cesar's methods in favour of "oh my sweet dog is everything, positive reinforcement only, oh my dog just killed someone, that's okay"... Seriously you lot get a grip. The negative reviewers are exactly the same people who end up on his show when the cucked out high-estrogen simp and his school of self awareness "queen" find out their dog has absolutely no respect for the pair of them.

In reality, the book itself contains helpful reminders and hints about how to effectively raise a dog. It can come off as cruel, but real cruelty is not providing any leadership to your dogs. The tips are helpful, they have helped thousands. You think Cesar can fake fixing hundreds of problematic dogs, over decades, across the US, including in live shows? Can your Youtuber/Influencer friend who swears by simping out to everyone including your dog do that? Or are they just posting the cute times with their dog, and when the cameras go off the dog runs the house whilst mr.influener sits frightened on the laundry machine and cries.

The tips can be repetitive yes. But it effectively reminds us to be calm-assertive, how dogs constantly sense your energy, regularly exercise your dog (especially before things like vet trips, dog park trips, groomers etc), be disciplined, keep to a schedule, exercise-discipline-affection in that order etc.

My main gripe with this book is that it's clear Jada Pinkett Smith and Ophrah paid Cesar for positive passages about them in the book. These parts are definitely artificial.

My favorite behaviorist is the late Sophia Yin, a formidable veterination who admited that her helpful book, Perfect Puppy in 7 Days: How to Start Your Puppy Off Right, will not give you a perfect puppy in a week-- but close to that! She gives you tools that will give you a responsive dog, and tools to fit a rescue dog into your home for a happy life.

As a person in the veterinary industry, I further suggest that you talk to local trainers, get recommendations from the local vet or dog-control officer, and find a trainer who suits your philosophy and needs, and can work with you and your dog so you both get the training you need.

In his first book, Cesar shares stories about his childhood in Mexico and his first experiences in America. The book is packed with tips, but it’s also part memoir, which made it easy to dive into. It also helped explain the reason why he trains dogs the way he does. Learning the thought process behind his methods was perhaps the most valuable thing in the book.

Cesar had no money when he came to America and he couldn’t speak a word of English. He worked at a dog grooming salon, and then cleaning limos long before he was the “dog whisperer.” One of his very first clients was Jada Pinkett Smith and she helped him grow his business and learn English. Once he established his dog psychology center he was truly able pursue his dream of helping rehabilitate dogs and train people in how to correctly care for their own dogs.

A few things that really helped me:

1) Nose, eyes, ears – If you want your dog to obey you, appeal to their senses in this order. Don’t yell commands at them, use bully sticks and other treats to show them where you want them to go, etc.

2) Calm and assertive behavior – Your attitude affects your dog. It you’re acting crazy, so will they. If they don’t respect your authority, they won’t obey you.

3) You dog is not a human. Simple, right? But it’s not, because we treat our dogs like our babies sometimes. Just remembering that my dog is in fact a dog, makes it much easier to train him and teach him what he is and isn’t allowed to do. He will not get his feelings hurt if you don’t allow him to do something.

4) It you’re trying to overcome a phobia or obsession in your dog, tire them out before attempting anything. When they’re worn out they’re more likely to be relaxed and accept changes.

5) The answer to almost any problem: Walks! If you’re going to try something new/if they’re being destructive/if you’re moving or traveling or going to a dog park, no matter what the problem is, the first answer is always to take them on a long walk.

I would highly recommend reading this BEFORE you get a dog. There are so many important tips that I would have liked to know before we brought out dog home. It turns out we did most things right, but there are some things we would have done differently. The book is incredibly helpful no matter what stage you are in with your dog, but would be most beneficial for soon-to-be owners.

Good advice, but nothing you wouldn't get from watching his show on the National Geographic channel.

Cesar Millan's dogs, and the way he rehabilitates "problem" dogs who would otherwise be euthanized, are all the proof I need to take his advice seriously. Even though I'm familiar with his training, this book opened my eyes even more. A great read!

This book has reinforced the concept, in my life, of living in the present moment with my dog. Some people do not necessarily agree with Cesar’s techniques or philosophies but I have found them quite useful when I volunteer at the local No Kill Animal Shelter walking dogs. Many of these dogs initially try to pull you, jump around, are timid, confused or excited.
I have found by having a calm and assertive demeanor and setting boundaries, rules and limitations it only takes around 5-15 minutes to enjoy a calm and mutually beneficial walk with the dogs and even have them sitting calmly at stops.
Affection & treats comes when they are following direction and I get much better results.
There is no lack of affection or care, in fact I have connected with dogs who have had what we as humans consider a hard life with little direction. Training and walking these loving and devoted creatures so they can be adopted gives me purpose and makes the dogs and adopters happy.
You can take or leave what you want from this book but I personally give it 4 stars

Vraiment intéressant ! Ce livre se lit comme un roman. Il nous explique bien la passion que Cesar a pour les chiens et le comportement de ceux-ci. Je comprends qu’il faut projeter une énergie de chef de meute, qu’il faut fournir à notre chien trois choses : de l’exercice, de la discipline et de l’affection et qu’il faut lui offrir ces trois choses dans cet ordre. Mais, il ne nous explique pas comment faire tout ça. Pour lui, c’est instinctif, mais pour nous, pour moi?! Cesar nous dit souvent que tel ou tel comportement ne doit pas être toléré, qu’il faut corriger l’animal immédiatement… Mais, comment corriger ? Comment faire comprendre que ce geste, cette pièce ou aboyer sont interdits ? Il faut entrer dans une pièce et après, inviter le chien à nous suivre. D’accord, mais comment ? Moi quand j’entre dans la cuisine, le chien vient aussi ! Il n’attend pas ma permission… Et quoi faire quand le chien mordille ? Je ne l’accepte pas, mais mon chien mordille quand même. Il faut grogner ? Le taper ? L’ignorer ? Super livre inspirant, mais, ce n’est pas ici que vous trouverez les outils pour dresser votre fidèle compagnon. Cesar est un spécialiste extraordinaire qui carbure à l’adrénaline et au défi de façon tout à fait instinctive. C’est fabuleux de l’entendre, mais ça ne m’aide pas avec mon chien qui jappe!

Long live Cesar and his pack

I picked up this book after reading a long string of other dog training books. I had great hopes that this book would help solve all my dog woes. The book begins with a description of a morning in the life of a dog at Cesar’s Dog Psychology Center. This powerful opening scene shows Cesar’s talent at it’s greatest: one man harmoniously leading 35 dogs on a mountain trail. Unfortunately the rest of the book falls somewhat short of this morning hike. The book follows Cesar’s childhood and his early days in Southern California as an illegal immigrant and outlines some of the dogs he has rehabilitated. While I found Cesar’s approach to canine (and human) behavior unique and amazing, I found his writing style to be a bit preachy and poor in description. With that said, it seems that some of his case histories a bit lacking in depth but are inspiring nevertheless. Though I did not find it to be a panacea to my current dog troubles, Cesar’s Way does offer an insight into the minds and behavior of dogs. It is a book that any dog owner would enjoy, but perhaps this book serves best as a companion to his television series, The Dog Whisperer.

Such a helpful book!!! Cesar touches on just about everything to help canine and human have a better relationship. I read this book in one day. Turns out Sam and I were doing everything ALL WRONG----no joke!!! Ha!!

Great book. I listened to it and enjoyed the narrator. This is of course authored by César Milan of the show the dog whisperer. We are planning to get a dog and this book really helped make me feel comfortable with how to get the behavior I hope for in a new pet. But it was also a reminder about how much work it is too. Dogs (like children) need daily exercise- lots of it. He even recommends putting dogs on treadmills if you don’t have time to walk it! He recommends at least 30 minutes 2x/day.

Anytime you are expecting good behavior from your animal you need to wear it out first. It also has very helpful information about how important it is to be your pets pack leader (aka alpha male). The energy of your home has a lot of influence. If you have a home that’s prone to sad, nervous, insecure or fearful energy then your dog will pick up on that and get nervous and act out.

Cesar recommends using a short leash (not retractable) around dogs head. You leave the house first dog follows. Don’t let dog lead you- they have to walk either behind you or beside you. Don’t let them stop & sniff & chase everything.

Exercise. Discipline. Affection.

Never be aggressive with animals.

Animal must be calm-receptive (submissive) for food and affection. Pack leader must be calm-assertive. Consistent energy (relaxed, confident and in control). Let them earn affection & treats.

When first meeting a dog, no affection or eye contact. Let dog come to you and sniff. When bringing them home for the first time take on long walk before entering the house. Then introduce them to one room at a time over several days.

Dogs are ruled in this order: nose, eyes, ears (so yelling doesn’t work)
